Why’d they need to cheat? Join a sports league or pay enough in donations to a Dean/administration and you can get right through. Worked that way for quite a few celebrities and only one got a slap on the wrist. Especially applies to private schooling. Hell, even if you aren’t cheating…got enough money? Just retake tests! Scantrons and test-taking essentials cost money in a vending machine, by the way so screw off if you’re poor anyways.

Further more, why should we feel bad about these bourgeois institutions getting screwed? Oh no, they’re cheating at a college that demands 100k+ (or 50k+) when they get out in collaboration with predatory lenders!! Or a community college that offers the bare minimum and scrapes the rest of tuition to administration!!

Even from a straight up lib-nonsense point of view…good. They’re only making a point at how much of a joke these academias are. At the same time, they take knowledge and education that better serves the common good or even their own people rather than enriching the top 15 corporations that owns most of American society. Oh well.

Oh yeah, why are these institutions taking the bribes anyways? Must be the SeeSeePee!!

Stick to Unix.

I didn’t particularly mean conflict; that entirely depends on older history of course. Was more so curious on economic or political interaction. I’ll try to find some reading on it. Thanks though!

Now that I think about it for a thought experiment; could a strictly maoist nation exist next to modern China? Is there some reading I could do for that specifically?

I don’t think there’d be hostilities, specifically, but just curious if that could exist without contradiction.

Of course, it solves any production capacity; or any issue with the price of human blood.

You really do love deflection like the rest of your party that you claim “like-mindedness” over. Multiple times I explained to you my own experiences while not denying anyone elses, provided sources and other experiences similar to mine from a thread entirely dedicated to your party’s bullshit and in response you kick and scream like a toddler claiming Prolewiki, Reddit, this website and “third-pillars” convenient to your own generalizations while decrying false Marxists. No wonder your party is seen as a joke; you must be the jester?

I found this community on my own. Was banned from Reddit over two years ago before I knew what “chapo”, hexbear or lemmygrad even was. So, in a GENERALIZATION, yes, I’m from Reddit. The crazy thing though, I was a communist before I discovered Reddit. Weird how that works. Bit different now, eh?

Also, chauvinism isn’t anything you don’t like.

Fucking pathetic. Shapiro would be proud at your demonstration of facts and logic against the false internet Marxists.

There is no justification for condemning resistance to genocide.

Gotta love CPUSA chauvinism. God damn pesky Maoist internet communists! Talking about generalizations, aren’t we? I must have zero experience and be a “rival Marxist” because I disagree with you. What a fucking joke.

Also, fun fact; I’m not from Reddit. I had history there; but was banned years ago. I found this community on my own. What about generalizations, again? Of course I’ve been rude to you. Condemning Hamas is settler bullshit. Combine that with towing the voting line, of course you have “rival Marxists”.

I didn’t clarify that, correct, misuse of words. You have a point there, my mistake.

Joe Sims condemned Hamas. On the thread itself, CPUSA members were laughable in the attempt to console people or even provide for an explanation or justification for the leadership decisions. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/4773761?scrollToComments=true Right there, you can see examples of what I talked about, in people being consoled that local leadership/organization tends to be more radical than the leadership. Another generalization, sure; but it’s literally there for you to see and what other people’s experiences are with CPUSA.

You’re going to look me in the eye and tell me that the average communist agrees with that; that alone isn’t a remarkable difference between “leadership” and a massive chunk of communists who don’t compromise with Genocide or disavow the ones resisting it? Over what is one of the many important issues that we have and then aligning with the democrats like they did in the 80s to “vote away fascism!”? Come on.

That’s…my experience. Generalization if you put it broadly over others but I didn’t. I linked above to what I said earlier and other experiences with CPUSA that are similar. Perhaps, you being a member, can help me understand on why people SHOULD feel differently than from what I experienced than summarizing it as “well, that’s a generalization” when I said it was MY experience that I didn’t put over anyone else.

Also, I don’t moderate, edit or control any levers or anything regarding ProleWiki. Did you know there was a suggestions thread/box for ProleWiki? I didn’t see you there.

What? In my area CPUSA disavowed the Democrat line. I didn’t say members disliked them, either; just that they disagreed on a few decisions the leadership made. When I say “salted” I don’t mean they salted anyone; but people tend to be more radical at the grassroots level and have their own disagreements compared to the actual leaders of the party itself. Often from other parties or socialist ones.

I didn’t say ignore FRSO either…just that I have no experience with them and I wouldn’t speak on them if I had no experience.

Is there a source behind that claim? Or anything suggesting that? In experience, CPUSA tends to have salted regionals differing from the leadership and others on here have mentioned that as well.

I can agree with having their point of view, it helps to know what the other is thinking even if you disagree.

I do not have experience with FRSO.

The last part, could you elaborate more? It covers a lot of international movements and socialist history. I don’t think it’s focused towards the U.S at all; just that a lot of the common mythos about communism tends to come from the United States or the West in general. Do you feel it’s not focusing enough on other nations or organizations?

Fair criticisms, but in the same sense; I think the leadership/upper echelons of CPUSA leadership might deserve some criticism themselves. Plenty of us understand more local branches are more serious nor willing to compromise with the Democrat Party. What exactly about their writings on FRSO do you not like?

I think you also should realize ProleWiki has only a small group of people working on it. There is threads discussing on development and writing for it. Have you ever participated in those?

One thing I wanted to note, while expensive now, 3d printing is gonna annihilate a lot of these steep entry costs when it becomes easier to use/to afford. Can’t wait to see it happen.

Growing up I was lucky my dad was a machinist. Being on the border of millenial and Gen Z a lot of the old windows XP shitters were getting tossed out with some pretty hefty graphics cards for the time for CAD and design. When we had electricity it was pretty nice to be able to play space pinball and learn how to use a computer. Without that, I probably would’ve never been interested in the internet; for the better or for the worse.

puts on lib hat

shits pants

Surely this is sign of Ukraine eventually going to win and singlehandedly kick RuZZia’s ass! /s

Death to fucking America.

I say raise them further

Welcome to the club, buddy. Yes, we CRITICALLY support anyone who throws shit at the U.S Empire. Obviously, Yeltsin’s dog isn’t someone we blindly support. Someone already told you that this is a sign of larger geopolitical reorientation; even if only briefly for a “bartering chip” that shows how the overall world reacts under U.S “international law” and how those reactions are changing compared to even five-six years ago.

That’s it. You should know that the author likely has his own views. That this was likely shared here because we support any chip in the U.S empire and global hegemony, even if only momentarily. “The Left” is a completely disingenuous statement which tells me you likely aren’t a regular here and think we give a shit about people politics. We aren’t Ivanishvili fans. No one here is defending them and multiple people have tried to point out their actual positions to which you just reiterate that we’re supporting X and must believe X.

Are you trying to be a wrecker or something?

Arms going missing? Sudden surge of right-wing groups in places like Germany and Italy getting busted with caches?

Surely this has no coincidence at all. Remember to vote blue.

What the actual fuck is Leahy vetting.

Is that just a commie-check?

But, listen, what if we took demand and turned it into some sort of golden idol that we worship through charts and financial divination?

I think that’s a really great idea.
